This episode is good enough to be a season finale but at the same time a little too much for a first episode and it never really hooked me on the show. I’m sure I’m gonna love it more after I get a little further into the series tho.
Finally making some time to rewatch my favorite anime of all time
The pace is too fast. The start in the 2003 version was better.
Weak pilot. Too many characters introduced, mixed with some out of place humor. Worst is that this episode shows both the state alchemists as unorganized, reckless institution (no plan at all to anticipate attack on central) and the Ice Alchemist as incompetent offender (with all that spectacle he really doesn't seem to plan anything in advance, as he gets beaten by Elric bros).
I really expected the first episode to be dark and heart-wrenching, so finally seeing it was such a pleasant surprise. I love how they just immerse you in the action, the lore, and the characters' fun antics. There was something about the transitions between the different acts that really bothered me, but this was such a fun pilot. I already feel like I've been watching the show for quite some time.
the premiere episode ''Fullmetal Alchemist'' is very true, but with exluded twists and turns that Brotherhood is all about it
Awesome app 3: and awesome anime.. Lol

Insanely fast paced series premiere.
